Fri, 20 Feb 2009 18:05:20 PST exile archive post 2317 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=156 Greetings and welcome to the System. Finally I've squashed the last of the bugs that were preventing me from using this system to its fullest; finally I can address you all as a true leader. I'm sure you are all familiar with me by now, but for the record, you may refer to me as Veilar, the Leader. You history is filled with tragedy, an eternal diaspora from place to place, lending you your name--Exiles. You have searched for a home for yourselves and your children, finally landing in this inhospitable desert. Instead of giving up, you bent yourselves to the task of building a new home in these dunes. I must say that when I regard your settlement, I feel admiration for your perserverance; I feel sympathy for the suffering you have already endured. And yet what I feel most of all is dissatisfaction, because I know that you have so much potential, potential that is not yet being realized as all your energies go to merely hanging on for survival in this grim waste. As such, I feel it is my duty to assume leadership of the Exiles. Let our wills be focused to the task ahead of us, to building and surviving in this barren land. Let our hands build shining machines to pull life from the desert; let our minds ferret out the ancient secrets buried in these sands. Even here we may gain mastery over our environment and the power to extend our dominion. I look forward to your participation in this grand endeavor. In closing, just a couple of administrative matters; First, we require unfettered access to all the knowledge we have accumulated, thus I would encourage everyone to catalogue and make available all the various documents in the Exile archives. Secondly, I do encourage open discussion of leadership policies; Open discussions will be held each twilight at the Whispering Rocks. --Veilar Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:22:35 PST exile archive post 2297 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=155 >CMProtocol@@HStart: Ready >So you're still here... >CMProtocol@@HStatus: Affirmative >How's the communication project proceeding? >CMProtocol@@JStatus: Protocol194/6667 >Yeah, that. >CMProtocol@@HStatus: Nominal >Good, I guess. >CMProtocol@@KStatus: Uncertain >Yes, well that's something we all have to deal with, isn't it? >CMProtocol@@@@@PError: NotUnderstood >I'm sure it'll turn out fine. >CMProtocoldStatus: Continue >Huh?

You've done so much, I guess the least I can do is get you the last part without asking questions. I think the translators are already working on it, so I'll just go by and emphasize its importance. It's the least I can do...and, actually, it's the most I can do.

Focus, sunshine." obviously shes talking about our dragon lens enchantment that can focus or diffuse sunlight. hmmmmmm...

Words are more my strong suit than numbers will ever be. Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:58:06 PST exile archive post 2226 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=147 What Jedditor is sneakily saying is that a certain thing translates to "eight letters and then a numeral". Did you really have to post ALL that stuff, Jedditor? It just looks like gibberish if you're not familiar with it. Wed, 7 Jan 2009 15:59:54 PST exile archive post 2213 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=147 [ ] A bracket expression. Matches a single character that is contained within the brackets. For example, [abc] matches "a", "b", or "c". [a-z] specifies a range which matches any lowercase letter from "a" to "z". These forms can be mixed: [abcx-z] matches "a", "b", "c", "x", "y", or "z", as does [a-cx-z]. Since many ranges of characters depend on the chosen locale setting (i.e., in some settings letters are organized as abc...zABC...Z, while in some others as aAbBcC...zZ), the POSIX standard defines some classes or categories of characters as shown in the following table: [:digit:] \d [0-9] Digits The following standard quantifiers are recognized: * Match 0 or more times + Match 1 or more times ? Match 1 or 0 times {n} Match exactly n times {n,} Match at least n times {n,m} Match at least n but not more than m times Mon, 5 Jan 2009 13:50:24 PST exile archive post 2197 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=147 49 27 6d 20 6c 6f 73 74 20 77 69 74 68 20 74 68 65 20 70 61 73 73 77 6f 72 64 2e 2e 2e 67 6f 74 20 74 68 65 20 77 6f 72 64 2c 20 62 75 74 20 49 27 6d 20 61 73 73 75 6d 69 6e 67 20 74 68 65 72 65 20 61 72 65 20 6e 75 6d 62 65 72 73 20 49 20 63 61 6e 27 74 20 67 65 74 2e 20 Mon, 5 Jan 2009 13:03:24 PST exile archive post 2196 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=147 did i really? hm. well dont worry keridwen, ill be able to find all the important people and let them know...privately. Mon, 5 Jan 2009 00:25:01 PST exile archive post 2193 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=147 How wonderful, Jedditor. For those of us who aren't as good as you, oh mighty genius, can you describe in small words how to find your secret hideout? By the way, I think you meant "jinx it". Mon, 5 Jan 2009 00:23:56 PST exile archive post 2192 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=147 so i poked around and found some code i could adapt, a little space in the system i could set aside. now i know you folks like the puzzles, so i came up with a couple simple tricks to disguise our meeting area and password from anyone who might be listening. so just look for the number 3735931646. its pretty simple, dont go looking for any weird complicated codes or youll hex it. once youre there you shouldnt have much trouble finding the right...whats the word, finding the right code or set of rules or instructions or...well whatever, just try finding whats missing, i mean the password. see you there... Mon, 5 Jan 2009 00:22:12 PST exile archive post 2191 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=146 were going to work on some new programs for interfacing. it should take about a week. that should put us, hm, a few days into your new year? you should probably be able to post something if you really want to, but dont expect anything new until then. mwahahahaha... Sat, 20 Dec 2008 21:58:10 PST exile archive post 2188 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=131 Jedditor, what [expletive] was that word you used? Some kind of puzzle? I can't even figure it out. Wed, 17 Dec 2008 23:14:45 PST exile archive post 2184 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=131 part 3 is coming, yes. Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:10:20 PST exile archive post 2183 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=131 I'm sorry if they're annoyed. But they've been sufficiently cagey that I'm not particularly bothered. I have a question: is there more to the last Book than what is posted? It doesn't seem to have any sort of resolution. Tue, 16 Dec 2008 19:14:03 PST exile archive post 2182 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=131 haha...i bet someones annoyed by your mentioning it in public. i do recall seeing something like that when poking around some random directories...with a cute little paintoverish diversion. perhaps i could appropriate their code and bricole it... Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:50:49 PST exile archive post 2181 http://exilearchive.com/blogrepl.php?a=131 Does stasy mean anything to any of you? Perhaps something like that might be helpful.
